Let's forget about the USA government and ALL idiots ever owning up to the full extent of (and the other unmentionable nations' complicity) in the attacks, and subsequent ridiculous wars. There is enough data, if compiled, to probably draw an accurate picture of the day's events.

Some evidence, like Enron and Building 7, can be circumstantial. No? Truth is an agreed upon set of facts. So, let's do it! I'm on this one because, in Canada, there was a poet who wasn't very accepted by the literary crowd, wrote great stuff, a wretched alcoholic

, chipped in to start a magazine in the 60's Georgia Straight (Vancouver) - it was a magazine that Bob Geldof worked for later too, as a journalist. [Boomtown Rats]

The People's Poet

Nobody needs the government etc to do it.

Commission #2 - The Real Deal.

WIKI: Milton Acorn was a World War II veteran. On a trans-Atlantic crossing, he suffered a wound from depth charges. The wound was severe enough for him to receive a disability pension from Veterans Affairs for most of his life. He returned to Prince Edward Island and moved to Montreal in 1956. He spent several years living at the Hotel Waverly in Toronto.[1]

In Montreal, he published some of his early poems in the political magazine, New Frontiers. He also self-published a mimeographed chapbook, In Love and Anger, his first collection of poems.

In 1967, Acorn helped found the then-"underground" newspaper The Georgia Straight in Vancouver, BC.[2]
